[lousmith]

Got some great pics of the mural that's in progress on Pellatt Road in SE22.

I can see this from my window and I think it's absolutely horrible. I think it's a really terrible design that's ruined a very well done up building.

I'm actually quite upset it's been painted...

It really is atrocious, almost as bad as the one on the Paxton at Gipsy Hill

[Voyageur]

I like it :) Could happily live with that.

Unlike the recent mural in Sydenham, which is pretty gross....

I wasn't too impressed with being woken up at 4am with noise continuing until just before 7am. I thought Southwark was doing night time road works. I cannot understand what a Madonna and child have to do with a pub which has a picture of a carrot on the side of the building..

[Jim1234]

Wow that's pretty horrible too... I'd gladly swap though :D

[PSJ]

I like it.

[lousmith]

Hooray!

I quite like it. I don't live opposite it, but I live just round the corner so will pass it every day. I appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I much prefer this one to some of the ones we've had painted elsewhere.

I think it's great. Much much better than the one up by The Plough.

[lousmith]

And its not even finished yet!

thanks for clarifying the postcode ;-)

It is getting out of hand...

Like I said. Once the first Stik graffiti was 'accepted' (By Some) it will open the floodgates.

Well it has..

BUT. Install the Wrong Windows on your house and Southwark will be down on you like a Ton of Bricks.

Foxy.

I've yet to see it in the flesh, but I'd be walking past it most days and I'm all for this sort of art (I do see it as that rather than graffiti but I guess it's subjective!) I like the look of it from the photos.

I went on an East Dulwich street art tour the other day (extremely interesting).

Was very amused to see the graffiti defacing one local wall painting: "F**k Street Art Tours" :))

I do sort of sympathise with the sentiment.

[uncleglen]

Horrible- the one on Goodrich is much nicer

[Curmudgeon]

I like the street art but I find this piece fatuous and quite boring

Shame

[tomskip]

I honestly hate them all.

How can you say that? This is what it says in the blurb about the artist on the link above ...

"He is perhaps best known for constructing powerful narratives juxtaposing philosophy, ancient mythology and modern politics to inspire an evolved consciousness. This interpretation of reality is achieved through balanced dialogue between realism and the supernatural. MEAR ONE helps us envision the sublime spirit of our time - not by escaping reality, but by confronting it head on."

See? It's helping us envision the sublime spirit of our time. Oh, and inspiring an evolved consciousness :))

Private Eye material, anyone? Pseuds' Corner?

Sue, sounds more like "it's grim up north london" to me.

[Dulwich Squirrel]

It looks terrible...

[maxxi]

Passed it today - all a bit Carnaby Street Groovy isn't it?.. a little like http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YSpcMZJHpBA/T7IovViGsGI/AAAAAAAAAxw/0oe0-3u9MvU/s400/biba20logo.jpg perhaps?

[edcam]

What a load of unnecessary and artless shizzle.

[Jim1234]

I wonder if it'll hurt business for The Patch once it opens.

[singalto]

They look as though they are doing the black panther salute!
